Not a triumph for Powell & Pressburger..., 24 March 2006
3/10
Author: moonspinner55 from redlands, ca

Overripe adaptation of Mary Webb's book "Gone to Earth" involves a gypsy girl in 19th century Wales caught between two men. Predictably handsome, but humorless melodrama never involves the viewer. Co-directors Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger have a unique and occasionally ominous way of letting nature unfold in front of the lens, and the cinematography is vivid and expressive; however, they don't seem to know much about actors or about the strength of performance--the technique seems to elude them--and Jennifer Jones in particular comes off looking like a stilted amateur (which she is most assuredly not). The film has its charms, but it has no gypsy blood--nor a wild heart. *1/2 from ****
